PAHN Conference
![]()
Annual conferences are the prime activity of PAHN. Meetings of PAHN have been held since 1992 when a special two day gathering, On with the Show, was held in the Victorian Arts Centre. Since then meetings have been held which sometimes coincide with the annual conference of Museums Australia. They are usually held in a suitably theatrical venue and are open to any one with an interest in Australia's performing arts history and heritage.
In 2016 we held our conference in Hobart which included a visit to the historical Theatre Royal. Planning is underway for our 2017 conference which will be held in Adelaide on October 12th and 13th.
If you are interested in speaking at the conference or attending please get in touch with us here.
